"Alpha Sylus... what should we do with her?" the guard asked. "You know what to do," Sylus said coldly. “Burn her. Dead or alive.” Bloodied and broken, Hazel Shadowfell lay on the cold stone floor. Whipped. Shamed. Betrayed by the very people meant to protect her — her own mate and father. And though death loomed, one thought burned in her heart: They will all pay. Born a powerless Omega in a bloodline built on strength, Hazel was nothing more than a pawn in her father’s ruthless pursuit of power. Forced to mate Alpha Sylus Blackwood — the most feared Alpha in Florida, a man known for cruelty and bloodlust — Hazel became trapped in a nightmare. Haunted by visions of a monstrous creature and warned of a destiny she cannot yet understand, Hazel is thrust into the brutal world of the Blackwood Pack. But beneath the surface lies a web of secrets — her true powers, her family’s dark past, and a curse that may shape her fate. When betrayal leads to her brutal death, Hazel awakens… transformed. No longer the powerless Omega they sought to burn, she is reborn — marked as the destined mate of the cold and ruthless Lycans King. Now, a curse stirs — hungry for vengeance. Will Hazel rise and unleash it upon those who wronged her? Or will her new fate lead her down a path no one — not even the gods — could predict?
